Restaurant Equipment – For Professional & Home Use By Tiffany J. Holcomb
R
oute 66 Restaurant Equipment is the epitome of a family owned company. Stephanie & Brad Talbert, Jeffrey Ruck (Stephanie’s Brother), Colette Villa and Jacob Unrein (Stephanie’s Children) have partnered to open the business. The family has been in industry for 20 years, opening their Mead location, in September 11, 2013, as demand for new and used restaurant equipment and equipment consignment increased. One benefit of working in their industry is the opportunity to try new restaurants. Route 66 Restaurant Equipment helped to open 7 bars and restaurants at Union Station in the first year of business. They take great pride in supporting their customers and helping businesses get started. Brian Anderson of Devil Dogs BBQ says, “These guys are PHENONMENAL!
There is no way I would have gotten my business up and running without them. There prices are great, they carry many of the items I needed, and their service… OUTSTANDING!” He continues, “For my first adventure into the food business, I was building my own food trailer. It turned out to be in worse shape than thought, so my cost over runs were pretty high. The entire staff here worked with me, helped choose product for me, and really were instrumental in me getting going,” Brian said. “Because of all the cost over runs, I ended up having to get some used items at another dealer – and it was a real mixed experience but in the end it probably wasn’t worth it. Route 66 is the only dealer I will use from now on if at all possible.” Give these guys a call or stop by if you need anything. Also, great for the home cook – get restaurant quality cookware a lot cheaper than you can get home grade stuff.
Visit the showroom at 4117 South Valley Dr., Mead, CO, online at www. Route66RestEquip.com or email R66RestEquip@yahoo.com. Route 66 Restaurant Equipment is open Mon. – Fri. (8:00 am – 5:00 pm) and Sat. (9:00a am – 2:00 pm).
Building Life Long Connections Locally By Tiffany J. Holcomb
EF
High School Exchange Year, a non-profit organization, connects caring families with students to share an opportunity of a lifetime. After hosting an exchange student from Finland, Melissa Gardner, joined the EF family, connecting students with caring host families. Seven years and over 100 students later, her love for her work and her experience has only grown. Once students and host families are connected, Melissa organizes outings and activities for everyone to museums, ski trips, National Park tours, etc. During the 2014-2015 school year, Maria, one of Melissa’s exchange students, from Italy, attended Mead High School. Maria maintained straight “A’s” and scored a “33” on her ACT, while taking the test in a 2nd language. The average composite score for Colorado is 20.6, according to ACT.org. Mead High has placed a plaque in the lobby, to recognize Maria for achieving one of the schools highest scores to date. Thanks to the love and support she has found with her host family, Maria has blossomed and excelled in the U.S. Melissa, is currently looking for host families, for four students, all maintaining “A” GPA’s: Luca (17), from Italy – speaks English, French, Chinese and Italian – is a martial arts black belt. Annika (17), from Norway – loves sports, especially Volleyball and children. Pauline (15), from Germany – speaks English, French and German – enjoys golf, running, dancing, and plays
piano. Numwan (female, turning 16 in fall), from Thailand – speaks 3 languages – plays piano and violin. EF has been committed to promoting global awareness for more than 30 years and has matched over 100,000 students from around the world with caring host families. The goal is to break barriers in language, culture and geography. EF exchange students are carefully screened, responsible academic achievers and are outstanding role models. Host families provide a loving home, food and a place to sleep. EF students cover all personal expenses and are fully insured. Tax deductions are available. Give your family the gift of a life changing opportunity. Open your world, your hearts, your home to an exchange student! Contact Melissa via phone at 303.847.8165, email at shareyouramerica@gmail.com or visit www.efexchangeyear.org.
